The takedown, which Microsoft dubbed “Operation b49,” has “quickly and effectively cut off traffic to Waledac at the ‘.com’ or domain registry level, severing the connection between the command and control centers of the botnet and most of its thousands of zombie computers around the world,” the company said.

If you love movies and haven’t opened a free account at The Auteurs, you’re missing out on lots of great movies you won’t easily find anywhere else. Some of them you can watch even for free. The forum discussions are pretty cool, too.

I think Dr. Fiancee and I may go see Shutter Island tonight. Either that or Avatar. Assuming her cold gets better, of course…

Tommy Christopher goes to bat for Ann Coulter…against Keith Olbermann: “This has nothing to do with your feelings about Ann Coulter as a human being. What Olbermann did was homophobia and transphobia at their most insidious.”

Think of it as a public service announcement from Dan Collins to help bloggers avoid sounding stupid, since Joe Stack’s suicide will certainly be used to attack one political side or another, like with other unfortunate souls before him.

He has lots of advising to do, by the way. But it sounds like he inhabits a universe where the Tea Party movement never happened:

He feels strongly that Democrats have done a poor job in drawing contrasts with Republicans, and in making sure that voters know what a GOP majority in the House or Senate would mean for the direction of the country.

David Plouffe evidently is not aware of the Tea Party phenomenon or is in denial. At any rate, he wouldn’t know how to deal with it either way. Few if anyone in politics does, although there’s not much to it. It comes down to listening to the People. Not just hearing them, but listening to them. It is the People whom politicians are supposed to serve, after all.
